Chromatin structure in the macronucleus of the ciliate Stylonychia mytilus

Evidence is presented that macronuclear chromatin in the hypotrichous ciliate Stylonychia mytilus occurs in discrete fragments, each representing at least single genes. The size of these fragments varies between 3 and more than 70 nucleosomes with an average length of about 18 nucleosomes. This obse...

Description
Summary:	Evidence is presented that macronuclear chromatin in the hypotrichous ciliate Stylonychia mytilus occurs in discrete fragments, each representing at least single genes. The size of these fragments varies between 3 and more than 70 nucleosomes with an average length of about 18 nucleosomes. This observation is discussed with respect to macronuclear structure of hypotrichous ciliates.
